College of Engineering Vergnano Institute for Inclusion

Donate Today

Your support makes engineering accessible and inspiring for students of all ages. Every dollar you give goes directly toward programs that spark curiosity, build confidence, and open doors to future opportunities in STEM.

Your support helps many aspects of our institute, including the following priorities:

    1. Our 10 student organizations who are paramount to the access, success and support that is created during our UConn experience (and beyond)

    1. Summer programs for K-12 students that help people learn more about engineering and develop their own STEM connection and confidence

    1. Summer programs for college students (undergraduate or graduate) that help prepare students for coursework and careers in STEM

Could help a UConn engineering student with school supplies like graph paper or a calculator

Could fund one middle schooler to attend one middle schooler to attend our SPARK residential camp for a week

Could fund 300 kids participating in a one-day conference like Engineering Your Future (EYF)

We also welcome in-kind donations (like your time, wisdom, or energy) such as:

1. 1 hour of volunteering to speak on a panel at one of our programs
